Chinese Population: Gender Structure Imbalance, Marriage Squeeze and Housing Prices

Abstract

Abstract: Under the conditions of the imbalanced male and female gender structure in China, the competition between men in the marriage market is fierce, so men will purchase houses to improve their competitiveness in the marriage market. Then will men's purchase of houses for marriage drive up housing prices? From the perspective of China's gender structure imbalance, this paper conducts an empirical study with the panel data of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2018. The findings show that the gender structure imbalance will drive up housing prices, which is done through marriage squeeze. Further analysis of the adjustment effect shows that the education level has a strengthening effect on the positive relationship between gender structural imbalance and housing prices.

Key words: gender structure imbalance, marriage squeeze, housing price
